The reststops for this ride are only 10-15 miles apart, and there are no stores along the way that I can recall (at least not on the 70-mile version -- there might be one on the full century). This map shows where they are:

I generally only have Gu during long summer rides so I don't remember specifically what food they've had in the past, but it's pretty much the same as you'd find at any century. They also have lots of ice, and if the nurses from HUP are at the 10/90-mile reststop again, they will be handing out little bags of ice in the afternoon. I love those nurses.
Are you doing the Philly Challenge this year?
